Capcom Introduces Interesting Way To Stop Quitters

People who quit online games when they are losing aren’t the most noble of gamers. I’m sure we’ve all wished we could just disconnect at one point or another, but the whole point of playing online is to keep on ticking, even when taking a kicking.

Capcom will be introducing an interesting feature in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 to prevent quitters.  The game will keep a track of your connection habits, and if your frequently disconnect it will begin to mark down your reputation.  The beautiful part is that nobody is made aware of this but soon enough, in some sort of wonderful karmic effect, the game will start to face off quitters against quitters only, thus giving them a taste of their own medicine.

  1. Beautiful. Well done Capcom!

  2. That is freaking amazing.

  3. hahaha awesome! Finally a way around these people, it can get annoying on online games

  4. If this works effectively, they have solved one of the biggest problems to face online gaming. Absolutely awesome.

  5. Brilliant! Although I think there should be a way to work yourself off that list after a while.

    • Once a quitter, always a quitter.
      :)

      • I agree with Kovacs!

      • Yeah, but once you’ve been put on that list, you’ve pretty much had it. There’s no point in even trying to play.
        Plus, sometimes you have to quit for genuine reasons, e.g answer the door or the phone etc…

      • Quitting the odd time (and let’s not forget genuine lost connection issues) is not going to see you facing fellow rage quitters on a regular basis.

        Constantly quitting will. Solution? Don’t be a rage quitter. Simple.

      • If you have to answer the door/phone you don’t need to quit: just lay down the controller and take the punches!

      • Then kick his ass next round!

    • Just don’t quit again. I’m sure it isn’t permanent

    • stop quitting?

  6. Good work Capcom! :D

  7. Genius :)

  8. Someone give Capcom a medal :)

  9. Great idea, hopefully it will be implemented well. Konami has a similar idea on PES 2010 whereby quitters are represented by a deflated ball. I went nowhere near those ‘quitters’ lol
    はどうけん!

    • “deflated ball”
      wasnt aware of that aspect, good to know

  10. pes also recently introduced something similar in its last installment
    whereby a frequent quitter is registered & quitting thereafter, automatically concedes the match 3-0

    would be nice to see this implemented across all appropriate online games
